A lot of times, we will sit and wonder what happened to a certain celebrity that the whole world was crazy over. This is a story of an actor<\/a> who was a household name at one point but soon fell out of the limelight. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The actor in question is now 68 years old, and looks much different from<\/strong> what people remember. Keep reading to learn more. When you hear the name David Caruso, a faint light will surely come to your head because it sounds familiar. If you watched television in the 1990s and early 2000s, then you know who this man is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caruso was born on January 7, 1956, in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. His parents divorced when he was young, and Carus struggled in a single-parent household. He was determined to make something of himself.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Some of his early work that he was seen in includes Hill Street Blues<\/em>,\u00a0First Blood<\/em>\u00a0(1982), and\u00a0An Officer and a Gentleman<\/em>\u00a0(1982). These roles however were small and while they helped him build his craft as an actor, they were not the reason he became a recognizable face on television.<\/p>\n

He got his breakout role in NYPD Blue<\/em>. In 1993, Caruso was cast as Detective John Kelly in the hit television show\u00a0NYPD Blue<\/em>. The show gained a lot of success, which earned him widespread recognition and adoration, as well as a nod from the Golden Globes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

While Caruso\u2019s time on the show was short-lived, as he left one season due to reports of a dispute over his salary and creative control, it was definitely memorable. His decision was chastised by many people and is considered a negative turning point for his professional life.<\/p>\n

After he left NYPD Blue<\/em>, he tried to venture out into acting in films but was not too successful. He appeared in the films Movies like Jade (1995) <\/em>and Kiss of Death (1995)<\/em>, both of which did not do much in terms of commercial success.<\/p>\n

In 2002, Caruso made a big comeback in CSI: Miami<\/a><\/em> as Horatio Caine. The show was a major hit, and his character was beloved for his one-liners and cool demeanor. CSI: Miami<\/em> ran for ten seasons and helped Carus solidify his place in television history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
